We were taught to walk around the block, enumerating only the houses on the right side of the road. This prevented us from accidentally skipping a house. And sometimes the houses across the street were in a new ED. From your description of the 1940 Census, the procedure seems to be the same back then.<br />Sherry FryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415306683169000572.post-83509817265918991012012-04-12T17:07:06.143-07:002012-04-12T17:07:06.143-07:00I think I figured out the reason for the marital s...I think I figured out the reason for the marital status of my dad seemingly being recorded wrong. The official date for census information was April 1st. However the enumerator did not record the information until April 23rd. This was after my parents were married on April 19th. I can see how this could be confusion. It&#39;s even possible that my mom was the informant as no one is given credit for that task. My mom could not be listed as she was not a resident of the county on April 1st.Dr Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05774555636055110063noreply@blogger.com
